PARENT COACHING FOR ADHD
& EXECUTIVE FUNCTION CHALLENGES
From both a personal and professional experience, parenting children with
ADHD/LD is frustrating—for everyone. So often, the disabilities are
"unseen", essentially recognizing the difference between the disability and
intentional behavior can be difficult. Parents with a child with ADHD
experience
daily challenges with homework, emotional regulation,
relationships, impulsive, negative behavior, procrastination, motivation and
much more! Parents are desperate to understand their child's ADHD
challenges but don’t have the education, resources or tools to be supported
in productive and forward-moving manner. This new diagnosis can create a
feeling of loneliness, isolation from family and friends, and fear of being
lectured with well-meaning yet ineffective advice or being judged as
incompetent parents. These executive function challenges make children feel
horrible about themselves and hopeless about the future. For the parent,
it becomes difficult to know to react. When children don’t seem to be
working toward their potential or are acting defiant, it 's hard to know how
to respond or where to go.
Where do you begin?
Research conducted over the past ten years supports the
recommendation for Parent Coaching as a fundamental piece in the treatment
of children with ADHD. Education, combined with the support and guidance of
a trained professional, can make a huge difference in developing parenting
confidence and effectiveness to parent. As a certified ADHD Coach, I have
trained in comprehensive programs, which provides specific ADHD coaching
skills and the foundation, to work with families who are being held back by
the invisible barriers of ADHD. My knowledge, experience, and perspective
are provided to support parents new to ADHD or those struggling to navigate
its many challenges.
Education and knowledge of ADHD are fundamental; challenge yourself to
develop your understanding, insights, and strategies to enable you to be a
resilient, confident and competent parent. It will be a gift to you and
your children.

Each session features new tools that can be applied immediately. Parents and children will experience a calmer and happier home as the principles are practiced. Give yourself and your family this gift."
- Parent of a teenage girl
"As a Dad, taking the course was instrumental in not only learning how to better parent a child with ADHD, but also gaining skills that applied to our entire household. Robyn and Jill were excellent instructors, at both presenting material and eliciting real-life examples from the participants that served as work exercises for everyone to practice these skills."
- Dad of a son with ADHD
"The Calm and Connected parent course was excellent. Sometimes as parents we can feel alone in this work to help our ADHD children, but there are so many on this journey. The class offered a step by step guide to first enhance understanding of ADHD and the challenges our children face with compassion. Tools and strategies were given to build stronger relationship and communication with our children or teens. Then, we worked with our children toward collaborative goal setting and plans that were revisited for revision. The parent guidance accompanied by respect for the child’s voice in the process is the balance my husband and I are always striving to do with our 13 year old son. The work of giving our kids roots and wings is our important challenge and this class was a great help. A heartfelt thanks to both Robyn and Jill for providing a supportive climate of sharing, guiding thoughts to maintain our focus, and so many practical suggestions along the way."
